July 15, 2025 - By Lauren McGaughy, The Texas Newsroom - Texas Gov. Greg Abbott doesn’t want to reveal months of communications with Elon Musk or representatives from the tech mogul’s companies, arguing in part that they are of a private nature, not of public interest and potentially embarrassing.

The governor’s office said some of the correspondence with the billionaire and his companies contains “intimate” information that isn’t of “legitimate concern to the public.”

Musk had become more entrenched in Texas politics after the movement of both Tesla and SpaceX headquarters from California to the state.
